we are -- i must say we all complain and we want to see the deficit addressed but don't touch my program. however, if romney as a presidential candidate or as president stood up and said look we're going to have to discuss social security. what we're going to do we're not going to touch -- he has said this. not going to touch anybody who is currently receiving social security or those who are about to come in in the next year or so. but if you look the 48-year-old you won't be able to collect social security until you're 70 but you can get it then most will say that's a good deal. i didn't think i would get anything now. pundits say you never want to educate the voter at the last minute which makes it tough for him. i do think he has to be very strong as to what he is going to do, that these are serious issues that that his experience he shouldn't run away from his experience with bain. he should say look were some jobs outsourced yes, but they were going, any way. >> as governor of the state, a wife, a mom. talk about a role model. >> when i started out the kids were little and i wasn't
